With Britney Spears and L.A. Reid out of the picture on X Factor USA, Simon Cowell must be keeping very busy these days trying to find good replacements for them. As it turns out, he might have found them already.

According to US Weekly, Jennifer Love Hewitt is in the running for a position, being a very charismatic and popular TV actress who also has some background in pop music.

“Simon is very interested,” says an insider.

Another possible judge is Kelly Rowland, who already has experience thank to her stint on the British version of the show.

“Kelly's nearly a done deal!” another source says.

While I got the impression that Kelly was focusing solely on her solo career right now (which means she probably won’t do it), I’d definitely tune in for J-Love. She’s funny and she never beats around the bush, so I guess she’d make for great TV.
